Thisbook,ElectrospunNanofibersforEnergyandEnvironmentalApplications, is a collection of 20 chapters contributed by the world’s leading experts in the electrospinning field. Each chapter covers a special subject that falls within three general areas: Introduction, energy applications, and environmental applications, correspondingtothethreepartsofthebook. Part I Introduction first provides a general overview of the electrospinning technique, including the history, basic principles, theoretical background, and controlling parameters. This is followed by a detailed introduction to electrospun nanofibers, involvingthe materials classes as well as the morphologiesand struc- turesofnanofibers.Finally,abriefanalysisofnanofibersusedforadvancedenergy andenvironmentalapplicationsindicatestheirsubstantialandpromisingimpact. Part II Electrospun nanofibers for energy applications covers the main devel- opmentsintheuseofnanofibersinenergyconservationandstorage.Eachchapter reports on recent contributions of nanofibers in selected areas of energy, such as fuel cells, electrodes of lithium-ion batteries, separators for lithium-ion batteries, dye-sensitizedsolarcells,organicandhybridsolarcells,supercapacitors,hydrogen storage,thermalstorage,andcarbondioxidecapture. Part III Electrospun nanofibers for environmental applications focuses on the potentialapplicationsofnanofibersinenvironmentalmonitoringandmanagement, whicharemainlyconcernedwiththeever-growingissuesofwaterandairpollution.
